Advantages: Long established program, theys end regular mail, often up to 5 a week

Disadvantages: Paid in dollars, many referrals needed to reach the payout figure

Net-4-Biz is yet one more of the growing trend of ‘get paid to read emails’ (GPTREM) programs that pay you cash simply for clicking on advertiser links that are mailed to your inbox. Signing up to the program is completely free to join and takes a matter of seconds.

As I have always said in previous opinions on GPTREMs, these programs are never going to make you rich. To stand any chance at all of making any decent money, or indeed, just reaching the minimum payout levels, you are going to need to refer lots of other members. But the one nice thing about Net-4-Biz, is that they have been around for a long long time, are very well established and still send regular paid mailings, often up to five a week, sometimes even more. And being completely free to join, what have you got to lose? Other than a few seconds of your time to click on a couple of links, it’s as easy as that!

The site, like so many others, is USA based so payments are made in dollars and cents. Currently, Net-4-Biz are paying 5 cents per email read and 3 cents for every mail read by any of your referrals. Not bad rates compared to others, but it’s a shame they don’t offer more levels of referrals. You receive no credit for any referrals that your own referrals bring to the program. Payment is made monthly when your balance has reached a minimum of twenty dollars.

The website itself is a little cluttered but easy enough to navigate and signing up is a doddle, you just need to fill out a few basic details and choose categories for the subjects you would like to receive mails on. It’s always best to choose topics that you think will be highly supported by advertisers, rather than your own personal interests, to try and generate more paid emails.

Applications for membership are tracked very carefully, and your IP number is logged to prevent multiple sign-ups from the same computer, thereby reducing the number of cheats trying to d
efraud the system. Webmasters can advertise the program (and their own referral link) by choosing a banner or text link from the main site. For those that don’t own websites, there are tips and advice for promoting your referral URL through a signature on your emails or submitting to a number of Free-For-All sites. Net-4-Biz also offers a free web based email address for life.

Your payment stats are tracked in real time, so your balance is updated the minute you click on an advertiser’s link in a paid email. The stats page is very comprehensive, showing the number of mails you have read, listing your referrals by name and the number of mails read by them and listing all your commissions clearly.

The paid emails themselves are very simple, You are given a quick summary of the advertiser’s site followed by a link to click on to receive your five cents credit. You don’t have to spend any time at the site to receive credit; simply clicking on the link to open up the site in your browser is sufficient.

I’ve been a member for almost a year now, and it has taken me all that time to reach the heady heights of $18, so not too far off payout now (I only have five referrals). So, the important thing is, the more people you can get to sign up under you, the quicker you will reach that payout target. If anybody would like to help me reach my first ever payment, email me using the addie on my profile page and I’ll be more than happy to send you my referral link! :O) Otherwise, just head over to http://net-4-biz.affiliatetracking.net to sign up without me!
